Another car identified by Cersten. Its rear inspired a car that became a rally champion of the early 1970s, the Fiat 124 Spyder. Two versions of the Chevrolet Rondine seem to have existed at the same time. The first, more radical, was designed by Tom Tjaarda, of Tomaso Pantera fame. The second, by Pinin Farina, introduces the wrapping rear window. Seductive, sleeker and thinner, in particular around the wheels, the second version was long the joy and pride of the Italian designer's company's collection. But I can't help prefering the first one, which seems less outdated now, and a hint more brutal, too.
